Lopota Lake Resort & Spa

It was the best place I visited here. All was good The only problem was with Trip.com. I booked full board - and i get only breakfast

I stayed at Lopota Lake Resort for four nights, and unfortunately, it was a completely disappointing experience. The biggest issue was the poor management and lack of proper service. For dinner, I had to wander around the hotel looking for options because the Italian restaurant was closed for private reservations for two nights. When I tried the main restaurant, the food was far from the quality expected for the price. I attempted to dine at the local Georgian restaurant for a second time, but most of the seating was already taken, leaving me with limited choices. When I finally decided to order room service, I requested a glass of wine and received a completely unreasonable response: “We don’t serve wine by the glass to rooms, only by the bottle.” In a so-called luxury resort, such pointless restrictions make no sense. At this point, I’ve given up on the resort’s dining options and am surviving on a can of beans I brought with me—because at least that’s reliable!” Overall, this resort fails in terms of service, management, and food quality. The surrounding nature is beautiful, but when basic amenities and dining options are so poorly managed, the experience becomes frustrating. If you’re looking for a smooth and enjoyable stay, I would not recommend this place.”

This is one of the best resorts I’ve experienced. It’s exceptionally clean, and everything you need is on-site, so there’s no need to venture out. A few tips: - It’s a good idea to bring some snacks along as there are no nearby supermarkets. - If you plan to stay, I highly recommend Building 15 if you’ve booked a suite. Suite 15202 offers the best view, with both lake and mountain scenery. - I suggest skipping the full-board option, as there are better restaurants in the resort. I tried the Georgian and Italian restaurants; both were good, though the Italian food was a bit salty. - If you’re a fan of specialty coffee, bring your own. The coffee here is decent but not exceptional. - The buggy tour was underwhelming. Opt for the four-wheeler motorcycle instead for a more enjoyable experience. - The spa is exceptional. I highly recommend the therapist Tedo (Nukri), whose 30+ years of experience really shine through. - Keep in mind, the drive from Tbilisi is around 3 hours and from the airport about 2.5 hours. Though the drive can be tedious, the resort is well worth the trip. - If possible, arrange for a driver through a reputable agency, as the resort's local drivers may not have well-maintained cars—one of ours didn’t even have air conditioning. - For coffee, try the Old Bar—it’s the best option at the resort, though still not great. However, their hot chocolate is amazing!
